I think it was Jeff Marek who spoke about it on a 32 Thoughts podcast but he said certain GM’s will not trade for players from teams who are well out of the playoff picture. The thinking is that those players simply are not checked in and it’s awfully hard to get there once you find yourself on a competitive team.
Have to wonder if Treliving gives this more thought moving forward. That said, I’m not worried about Toffoli moving forward. It will be a good thing for him and the team that he’s here from the start next year.
…provided Gaudreau signs.
